Use before `git push` where the repository holds config files. A `.gitignore` entry does NOT stop `git add -f` (silently accepted); a tracked `.env` publishes its credential to every clone. Scan tracked files first.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# push-secret-scan This card ships three parts: an explanation of the trap, prevention by an adopter-owned scanner, and the recovery runbook below. It deliberately ships no executable scanner. Enforcement that must fire belongs in the adopter's environment; the card remains the model-invocable reference. ## The trap A `.gitignore` entry does **not** remove a file that is already tracked, and it does not stop `git add -f`. The ignore rule applies to *untracked* paths only; once a path is in the index, git keeps recording every change to it, and the ignore rule is silently skipped. When a credential file has been tracked at any point (e.g., a `.env` added before the ignore rule existed), the push sends that credential to every clone of the remote. Any system that trusted the credential is now exposed and must be rotated. ## When this fires Any of these conditions: - `git ls-files` lists a path that also matches a `.gitignore` pattern - The tree contains `.env`, `*.pem`, `*.key`, `id_rsa`, or `credentials.json` - A `config` or `settings` file assigns a literal to a name ending in `_KEY`, `_TOKEN`, or `_SECRET` …

How to install
mdr add mrbinnacle/skill-harness/push-secret-scan@sha256:38edb7b90a3a5d2cThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260922.d0ff304, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
